X.400, argh. (not your fault but...).

Well, the default configuration for sendmail is to use the ESMTP mailer
which should convert your mail into a Quoted-Printable one _IF_ your mail
is labelled with a "Content-Transfert-Encoding: 8bit" and with
"Content-Type: text/plain".

So you should get a MUA that either send the mail already in QP or use 8
bits but with a correct label. The gateway you face is not "officially"
broken by stripping the 8th bit but IMO it is badly.

QP is a pain in the *ss by itself but it may save you yet.
